New NASA Photo From Space Shows Frightening Scale Of Hurricane Irma

Hurricane Irma has been confirmed as the biggest hurricane to ever form over the Atlantic Ocean, but it’s pretty hard to actually imagine the size of it in your head.

Things like hurricanes are on such a large scale, they’re really hard to wrap your head around in terms of how big they are – statements like the one above don’t really mean much to the average person.

When you see images of the devastation Irma caused, you get some idea of the ferocity of the storm, but no real idea of it’s size either.

A few days ago, Antigua and St. Martin could be seen at the eye of Hurricane Irma, and just this morning, residents on Barbados were reporting the sea had receded so far away from the Island, they could no longer see it.

It’s unclear how much devastation will be caused in Florida but there’s been a mass evacuation in parts of the state and water is already reportedly reaching 2 feet in some areas.
